CC Sabathia gets the start for the Yankees tonight as the Tigers head to Tampa for their first night game of the spring.  Justin Verlander gets the start for he Tigers and he’s been sharp in his two short starts so far this season.  Brandon Lyon, Bobby Seay and Freddy Dolsi will all get some time on the mound as well.

Korea took care of business against Chinese Taipei this morning as Pool A in the WBC continued this morning.  No big surprise because it was Korea and Japan who walked out of this bracket the last time around.  That means we’ll get to see the two power houses go head to head Saturday night.  The United States begin their run Saturday afternoon and they’ll play Canada at Rogers Centre. 

I missed this yesterday, but Gerald Laird left the game yesterday with a quad strain.  Right now he’s day to day.
